If majorboy and other JPN Ibukis are going for the target combo mix up you would think it’d be safe. I’ve never seen them get mashed out of it

Ehm i went to lab again with target combo and simply couldnt make it safe or neutral or anything. It is super unsafe to do the crossup trick with LK command dash after air j.lp, mk. This trick is not gonna work offline. Get those “good” ibuki players out of their cave and test their setups in tournaments i say.

you can do the target combo,delay the mk,do a regular dash, and be +6 and get a really hard to see crossup/fake crossup mixup

Look if somebody would have pointed out that you can delay the j.mk in the target combo i wouldnt have looked like an idiot! Thankyou @pepopulo truly an insightful post. I got it to work now. Best mixup option indeed.

Enjoy! Our research results. Both are 100% controllable. You decide which side the mixup is quite easily. The corner one by walking forward or backward or simply standing. The midscreen one by a subtle difference in j.lp to j.mk delay.

Guys idk if it was documented in patch notes but the s2 slide is so much better. We can confirm with s.lk > L raida at max range now, not CH required. For s1 we needed CH and max range for s.lp to connect, a 3 frames move! It is like this slide was buffed 3-4 frames.

nah,s1 slide was +4 at max range too, in fact it’s kind of hard to combo off of slide because at mas range it’s +4 but stl.lp doesn’t reach and just outside max range it’s +3 and it can be hard to tell

@mykka if you want to see if ibuki is a good character this season i tell you she and rashid will be the dark horses this season. Characters with untaped potential were heavily buffed in mixup aspects and antiprojectile wars maybe a little too much and now they are a real threat to the top tier.

I just found something weird,you can empty cancel a chained st.LP into her st.MP target combo,and if the st.MP hits or is blocked you can follow it up with the st.HP/st.LK finisher of the tg,I’m sure this isn’t new and was presetn in S1tho, can’t really think of a good way to use this,but hey,it’s there,so watch out if you’re mashing that st.LP for a target combo confirm and fuck up
